I had the chance to go to a film screening of the Central Park Five. The event was followed by a Q and A by three of the now grown men who were falsely accused as teenagers. The film made me cry, angry, but then proud. Our criminal justice system needs to be transformed, the media needs to be unbiased truth tellers, and we the public need to be critical thinkers and also activists. But it’s nice to know that when the latter failed, there were strong men who survived despite our failures.
